----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> shell:new does not work for most classes
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: KARAF-3908
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-3908
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: karaf-shell
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Christian Schneider
> Assignee: Christian Schneider
> Fix For: 4.0.1
>
>
> If you do shell:new for a class that is not directly known to the
> shell.command bundle you get a ClassNotFoundException.
> The reason is that the DefaultConverter is used to convert from String to
> Class which uses the bundle classloader. The shell.commands bundle can not
> know all possible classes.
> A workaround is the do "dynamic-import org.apache.karaf.shell.commands" to
> make all packages available to the bundle. This opens a lot of possible
> problems though.
> So I think a proper solution would be to use the capabilties to find the
> bundle that exports the package and use the classloader of this bundle to
> load the class.
> In case there are multiple versions of the package we could allow to specify
> a bundle to import the package from or allow to specify a version range for
> the package.
